Hi Mariah, I am presently in the same situation as you, my BK was 5-years ago. *Did you get hired!!? Today I am taking my drug test, etc. and they are processing my background check. I have been offered the position, pending the background check. Are you now happily working at Chase? Please let me know what happened! Thankyou

Mariah in San Francisco, California said: I'm hired for the PB position at Chase pending the background check. Here are the 2 things that concern me:

1) I stretched a bit about my length of time with a few of my past employments on my resume.

2) I filed BK about 7 years ago, and my credit has been spotty lately.

Can anyone who work at Chase tell me what kind of things specifically do they scrutinize with the background check, and whether the items mentioned above will be automatic disqualifications for me? Thank you.

i have 2 misdameaner arrests from 3 years ago, took classes and now they are deferred. at the time i was a temp for bank of america, when they did a background check they saw my arrests and let me go, even though they were deferred. I have an interview at chase this week, and know they will do a background check, do you think their policy is different? i mean there is nothing i can do, arizona is a non expunge state.
thanks.

I was hired with Chase but got a call about my fingerprinting and was told in 1992 I had a fraudelent check charge and they need a disposition. I first of didn't remember something from 1992. I contact the clerk of courts of they said it's out of their retention so I contacted the state law enforcement agency and got a copy of my criminal record and saw where there was a convicted $70.00 check but was paid. Will the pull the offer because of this? My background, drug test and everything else has passed? Will something that happened 19 years ago prevent me from getting the job?

Hi guys, I also stretched a little my employment history. Is it normal for chase to ask for w2s? I was left a voicemail saying that the only thing they need is my W2s from 2008 thru 2010 to get clear. Should I worry? or is this a normal process for chase to verify employment? Pleaswe help! I'm getting my self sick over this. Im suppose to start in a week. I don't have my 2008 W2, I have to call my previous employer hoping they will email it to me.

Currently work at BofA as a PB. Was approached by Chase to apply for PB position. I passed both interviews, was given an offer and then had to complete my background check, drug test, and fingerprinting. Passed background check and drug test, however, here is my concern: in 2006 was charged with misdemeanor hit and run (hit a pole in newport). Did 40 hours comm. service. In 2009 got a DUI. I have since completed all court-mandated actions for the DUI (fines are paid and comm. service is complete). I have one year of probation left... When I did my fingerprinting I was asked to then submit a disposition for the DUI... at the bottom of email it also asked for me to submit "disposition for the event in 2006"- obviously this never came up on my BK check but they want info because I disclosed on my application. I am wondering if I will be hired? I've been stressing about this and need some true guidance. I'm not afraid of tough answers so long as they are truthful. Help me out?

Because I really don't know anything about this type of stuff.

Hello, when you get hired as a PB for chase you will be required to registered for Safe Act. Safe Act normally will take the fingerprints and background check Chase has already done on you. However because it has been more than 30 days, there is the possibility that they may need to do a background check again. I wouldn't be too worry, as you are already a chase employee. good luck with the PB role, they will treat you as a number machine, once you stop producing pvcs, they will be on your ass all the time. at first they will give you a "ok" type of deal, but once you go to PB 1, they expect you to sell, sell, sell, and once PB 2 comes around, you better get yourself some good appointments. good luck, i'm in the role, and I wish I had never taken it.

Hello guys...i was arrested for driving while licence is suspended...cuz i didn't have the money to pay for my previous tickets,therefore i was told it is considered:misdemeanor! i had two of those on my records which is sooooooooooo unfair! will this affect my background check?!

I got the job offer at chase today and i accepted it. I have to do the background check now which I am worried about. I have no convictions but I have been arrested before, does arrests count? All charges where dropped and nothing is on my record so I was wondering if arrests show up

They're only worried about theft records. I have assault on my record and still got hired at the call center.

Michael1872 in Garland, Texas said: Mickey - did they ask you to provide the disposition for the assault case?

Yea inhad to send the disposition in i did and amd waiting for two more papers from the da to fax then in but the major paper was already sent and they didnt reacind myboffer yet but they said thatvwen all docs are in theyll make the final decision so im still a little unsure

Hello i applied for Teller Position at Chase.com but i don't have a HS diploma but I'm attending college to get credits to transfer to a University if i get an interview will they ask me for my HS diploma or it cones in the background check.

Im in the process of that i have my testing dates on April 15-17 but i have a good customer service background and clear background as well that i could say I've never gotten a ticket in my life and I'm 25 years old

Hello, I need some help. I have applied for a position with Chase, did two interviews, received an offer letter which I
accepted. My concern is, I have filed for bankruptcy. I don't have any "convictions" on my record but I do have some arrests due to a really bad divorce. I have all the docs showing the cases were dismissed. I am worried though. I am worried the Bankruptcy will cause them not to hire me even though I was advised by my attorney, it's against the law to deny employment to anyone because they have filed bankruptcy. I am also worried about the background check. On the application it asks if I have ever been convicted of a crime and I answered no. It never asked about arrests. I did let my recruiter know. I go for my fingerprints tomorrow and I am so worried. The one thing I have in my favor is an extensive work history which they can verify or I could provide verification if needed.

sean in Porter, Texas said: I am having the same problem did you get hired

I did get hired, but I also quit over a month ago. Chase is horrible - let me rephrase that.. banker position is horrible, they treat you like you are a machine that is only seen to produce, produce, and more produce; not as a human being... they are constantly breathing on your neck everyday... working the lobby, on the phones, it is pathetic.. I'm glad I found something else... honestly this job can make someones blood pressure be up the sky all the time. Good luck to you

Hello I recently applied for a PB position at Chase but I have a theft conviction from when I was 17, which was 15 years ago. Will they hold it against me in the background check?
Could I possibly get hired and then let go if they find out after?

I think its better if you will just be honest in your resume. So next time, be sure that what you will write in your resume or what will you say to your interview are all true, so you won't worry at all.

I was a minor when i was got arrested for shoplifting, and recently got interviewd with chase will that show up on my background check even though i was a minor? i've been told to not include that on any of my applications since i was a minor no charges were pressed and i only had school probation. what do you guys think?

i have been offered a position as a material handler in coppell tx,and i am 38 years of age. When i 17 which is 20 years ago I caught a drug case (felony). 2010 a misdemeanor driving while license was suspended which was reduced to class c misdemeanor. No bk but credit is shot will this stop me from keeping the job.

i was accused of theft at a store i was working at. ( i was completly innocent) When appearing on my court date all my charges were dropped because they found the real culprit. i am being offered a job at a bank and they are doing a background check? Will this show up even though the charges were dropped? Also will the case number show up on my background check? i would really love toget this job but i would be really upset if i cant get this job beacuse of someone else.

I did! How about you? Have you heard from them.. however I must say that I'm trying to work for wells fargo now... and I'm waiting to hear back from them on my background check... so I'm hoping that it will be ok. I'm moving and there is no chase around... the closest one is about 2+ hours away... so I can't transfer. I just hope that wells fargo don't take forever.. I got my finger prints done today... and I hope they will call me already.. it's making me sick.. it's like deja vu

Got interviewed by a branch manager 9 days ago, they said will give me a call back to inform me the outcome, Im getting sick and feel stuck on my phone waiting for a call from them.. do you guys know how long it will take untill the call me??

To all those that stretched the truth...Entry level jobs at the big firms aren't vetted out as carefully as the much higher paying jobs. If you're just a loan officer that's one thing. Cash handling individuals like tellers do get more scrutiny and even some misdemeanors will be reason for barring someone. Remember that misdemeanors have multiple levels of severity. Felonies pretty much will bar you for life from most investment/financial companies.

BK is an interesting one. It raises a ton of eyebrows and for some finance jobs in a NEW firm, is heavily frowned upon as it shows an inability for someone to be financially responsible. The logic is 'how could that person give good advice if they're a screw up already?' That said, extenuating circumstances and a valid story does help smooth the waters and bring your credibility up. The longer in the past it is, the better. Also for sales oriented positions, if you have a large book of existing clients, most firms will almost look the other way with a BK. All firms look at your history as a process of income vs risk management. How much can this person make for the company or do for the company with the least amount of risk or mgmt.

Everyone puffs up their resumes, but be aware that with some BIG companies, their HR is centralized, notes are kept via SS# and unique identifiers so if you fail an interview once because of a lie, it will forever be in the notes and subsequent interviews will always reflect that. If you are a younger person, HR tends to look over those job histories much more carefully. Some puffery or work date improvisation is allowed as time passes for really old jobs, but if you stretch it more than 6 months, I would throw you in the "no" list. If you try to pass a 1 year extra lie on multiple jobs, I'll black list it.

@VIGOR2 did they do a background check on you again when you were promoted?
If so, did they say anything about your theft?

I have a pending wire fraud case and it has nothing to do with the bank or credit union im trying to get a job at CHASE and they are asking for a disposition letter. it has not been discharged and still pending will they still hire me? I put on my application I never been charged or convicted as a no. when asked do I have a pending case I stated yes when asked to explain I said not sure of status of case still pending. so I was very honest with them

I applied at chase and received an offer but I'm concerned about my background check. I had a warrant and was pulled over taken in and finger printed but released in a few hrs. Will that keep me from being employed. Also for someone else if you have a warrant can that keep you from being employed?

Got hired by Chase. Went through the drug test, background check, employment nd school verification everything passed. My fingerprints came up with a petty larceny misdemeanor from 17 years ago. Will this affect me from getting the job?
